Unfortunately, those are all the ingredients I received. Each cocktail (or mocktail if you don't drink) used one of four syrups which were sent to me in advance as part of the mixology kit. Amy walked us through making three cocktails: a Cucumber Chili Margarita, a Cherry Almond Manhattan, and a Grapefruit Basil Vodka Gimlet. You’ll also get a reminder for your Experience class about 48 hours before, so you know when to tune in.
The Home Bars mixology class was taught by mixologist Amy K.
I’ve always been fascinated by the bartending process and figured what better way to spend Saturday night than to learn how to make one of my favorite drinks: A Manhattan. Out-of-pocket materials cost: $45 (I bought miniature sized 50 mL bottles to cut cost) The Manhattan was delicious, as were the other two cocktails. Keep on reading to find out how they went. That's why my final two choices came down to a mixology class and a rain drop cake making class. While many of the classes available intrigued me, I wanted to try out something that taught me skills I could reuse in the long run. I tried two Uncommon Experiences classes and here’s how they went
That said, you’ll have clear instructions so you’ll be able to prep easily or redo this experience by yourself in the future. For example, I tried out the Home Bars Mixology class as well as the Rain Drop cake making class, and for both classes, I had to prepare additional materials in advance. No matter what class you choose, there will be some materials you’ll need to supply yourself. Make sure your devices are charged and ready to go through and that you have a decent internet connection so you don’t miss anything. You can choose to keep your camera on or off but the facilitator requests you definitely keep your mic off and type your questions into the Zoom chat. The only part that remains constant? A facilitator from the Uncommon Goods staff makes sure the instructors are both staying on time and answering each attendee's questions. Each class setup is different since each instructor has their own unique way of running the class.
